Lets be honest, this guy needs no introduction. The man known as 'Nolan' to all, is the BIG energy and outgoing personality you will definitely see and hear around the show site. Riding his motorcycle professionally for many years, he is known as an OG in the sport of FMX. If you can't find him on his bike, he's most likely playing a round of golf at a local course and boasts playing over 60 rounds per year! Nolan keeps the vibe lighthearted and fun, bringing energy and smiles wherever he goes.

This man right here is one of a few athletes in the world backflipping a snowmobile and executing it with precision to a mobile landing.
